“Someone who loves us passionately is motivated to know and understand us to a greater depth than someone with whom our relationship is more casual.”
― Nathaniel Branden, The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

“Most of us are capable of more than we believe.”

“In the inner courtroom of my mind, mine is the only judgment that counts.”
― Nathaniel Branden, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem

“No one is coming to save you; no one is coming to make life right for you; no one is coming to solve your problems. If you don’t do something, nothing is going to get better. The dream of a rescuer who will deliver us may offer a kind of comfort, but it leaves us passive and powerless. We may feel if only I suffer long enough, if only I yearn desperately enough, somehow a miracle will happen, but this is the kind of self-deception one pays for with one’s life as it drains away into the abyss of unredeemable possibilities and irretrievable days, months, decades.”
― Nathaniel Branden, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem
